Repletecast: Recent Episodes
Replete
A weekly podcast for creators. Featuring lessons, frameworks and stories from artists, designers and storytellers.
What do we notice about people that are great teachers?
What effect does education have on our creativity and the confidence we have in our work?
This week Ben chats with Amy D'Agorne, a Yorkshire-born photographer who is currently studying her MA in Documentary Photography at the University of South Wales.
We explore the role photography has in influencing society, about knowing your worth as a creative, and the struggle in balancing personal and commercial work.
Amy's projects investigate the prevalent issues related to climate change; such as food sovereignty, corporate agriculture, fossil-fuel extraction, and the many-faceted ways that late-stage capitalism presents itself.
She graduated with a BA First Class Honours in Photography from Edinburgh College of Art in 2015, and is currently working on a commission with photographer Hannah Starkey for The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield.

How can art influence our understanding of things we cannot see?
Clare Nattress creates work that sits at the intersection of art and science, which turns complicated streams of data into visual communication we can easily understand.
Clare is an artist and lecturer currently undertaking a practice based PhD at Leeds Beckett University. Her works often encompass data art, performance, photography, digital practices and installation.
She considers collaborations with scientists and other researchers to be a key element in her work, and explores topics such as air pollution - which became an interest after cycling around the world and experiencing firsthand the extreme contrast between the air quality of different countries.
Clare is exhibiting at Blossom Street Gallery in York throughout June 2022, and you can find her online at www.clarenattress.co.uk
How many of us spend our lives moving from job to job, hoping we will find something that fulfils us?
What if instead we could create our own job, tailor made to the interests and skills we've developed from passion and exploration?
Tom Moore of design studio Lást Maps talks us through his journey of building a life around this goal.
Lást Maps is a small design studio that specialises in heritage style ink work. The brand started with hand-drawn cartography, expanding into designing clothing graphics, label identities and logo design.
